"Phew!" As Angel Ying left, Zhao Xin collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted, his gaze sweeping over the scattered corpses of the Taotie.
After resting for a while, he slowly made his way towards Old Lady Wu's house, leaning against the wall.
Soon, Zhao Xin returned to the house and saw Old Lady Wu lying on the bed, seemingly asleep, holding the little girl's body. However, he could tell that her chest was not rising or falling.
"Farewell!" Zhao Xin sighed heavily. Old Lady Wu had already resolved to die, and no matter how he tried to save her, it was useless, because her heart was already dead.
After saying this, Zhao Xin walked heavily upstairs, entered Xiao Nannan's room, and began to gather the scattered fragments.
The room was exactly the same as before, except that a golden medal covered in dust lay on the floor, along with a tattered, open notebook.
Zhao Xin stepped forward and picked up the medal and notebook. He wiped away the dust from the medal, revealing its original golden luster, glanced at it, and then put it into the wormhole space.
The cover of the notebook says "Diary," but the word "notebook" at the back has been blown away.
Zhao Xin felt a pang of sadness. He blew the dust off the diary, sat down on the floor, and began to read it.
[August 5, 2013, I'm so happy! This is my daughter's first time writing in her diary.]
On August 6th, my mother told me that she was leaving home and going to another place with the uncle who had recently visited. My mother said she didn't want to take my daughter with her.
Although Nannan was very sad, she didn't want to leave her grandmother's side, so she would wait at home for her mother to come back.
【…】
On September 21st, Grandma said that Dad went to a very far place to carry out a mission and would not be back for a very long time. But Nannan knew that Dad had left me and Grandma and would not be coming back.
The little girl was very strong and didn't cry. She sees her grandma crying every day, and she doesn't want to know too much, afraid of making her grandma even more upset.
【…】
When Zhao Xin tried to turn to the next page, he found that most of the middle part was burned, so he continued to turn to the pages that were still readable.
On September 15th, Grandma bought Nannan her favorite candied hawthorns...
【…】
[November 20th, today is the happiest day for Nannan. The older brothers from the Super Soldier Squad are having dinner at Nannan's house, ugh...]
Zhao Xin turned to the next page, which was now completely blank. It was clear that Nannan had just written it that day. After calming his sore nose and the turmoil in his heart, he stood up and began to tidy up Nannan's body parts...
After erecting graves for Xiaonannan and Old Lady Wu, Zhao Xin looked at the two small mounds of earth, let out a deep sigh of relief, and buried his diary with Xiaonannan.
"I hope you can be reunited and happy in your next life!" Zhao Xin said this as the sky began to lighten, and dawn broke without them even realizing it.
He then left.
Chapter 135 You Became an Immortal? (Please vote with monthly tickets!)
However, Tan City was just a microcosm of this war. At this moment, apart from Morgana's Ouzhou, the entire world was suffering from the devastation caused by the arrival of the Taotie fleet.
However, the intensity of the war in China was relatively small, and with the divine assistance of angels hidden in various places, the casualties were minimal, but countless families were torn apart and wives and children were separated.
This war came so suddenly that the whole world was caught off guard, and China was unable to make contact due to communication failures, so it had to be resolved by angels.
However, the Taotie fleet was so large that even when scattered around the world, it was still a considerable and undeniable force.
At this time, Giant City was as peaceful and prosperous as ever. While the outside world was suffering from the ravages of war, it was not invaded by the Taotie fleet, which seemed extremely strange.
It's not that we don't want to invade this place, but rather that there are three gods here!
A room inside the villa.
Li Dao was sitting cross-legged on the bed, meditating and focusing his mind. His aura was restrained and unified, giving him a sense of peace.
But if you look closely, you will find that his lips are closed and a small amount of mist is exhaling from his nose, as if he is breathing in and out endless divine light.
On the face, neck, back of hands, soles of feet, and other parts not covered by clothing, strange, writhing lines were now visible on the skin, and the same was true of the entire skeleton.
These are the meridians within Li Dao's body, manifested through the muscles within him, and reflected in his crystal-clear, gleaming bones.
Not only his meridians, but also the acupoints on Li Dao's body surface, which shimmered like stars, were also visible, making him appear quite mystical.
Qi and blood surged into these acupoints like dragons entering their nests, filling them completely, and the abundant essence shone like divine light upon each one.
"Refine essence into qi, refine qi into spirit, refine spirit to return to emptiness; essence and qi unite, qi and spirit unite, spirit and essence unite, yin and yang embrace and give birth to all things..."
Li Dao's lips did not move, but he was reciting and reading scriptures from his body, which resounded throughout the room, vast and magnificent, with divine light shining brightly!
Immediately afterwards, a continuous "hissing" sound suddenly rang out, and the 720 acupoints in Li Dao's body shone brightly, emitting streaks of divine rainbow.
At this moment, the entire room was shrouded in celestial mist. Li Dao, sitting in the center radiating divine light, resembled a lofty and majestic immortal, sitting high above, in the center of the Taiqing Heaven.
The Taoist chanting within the body was melodious, like immortals reciting scriptures, ethereal and dreamlike, both real and illusory, making one momentarily lose their senses and unsure of reality.
Three unreal dantians rose and fell, like a chaotic egg, gradually and slowly forming a huge hub with meridians as bridges and acupoints as supply stations.
The commotion inside the room could not be concealed at all; dreamlike voices sang throughout the villa, reaching the ears of He Xi and Angel Ying.
"What is Li Dao doing in the room? Why is he making such a racket? And this sound feels so comforting, like I'm floating on air," Angel Ying said.
He Xi shook his head, then immediately activated his Eye of Insight to observe.
"Hmm? His vitality, cell activity, bone density, and other data are all increasing dramatically." He Xi raised an eyebrow and said with slight surprise.
But soon, she felt it was normal.
Since it seems like several months have passed since the other party's data showed a significant increase, it wouldn't make sense if there wasn't any improvement.
However, this increase is greater than all previous increases combined.
"He has indeed become stronger again, and his data is approaching that of the fourth generation!" Upon hearing this, Angel Ying immediately opened her Eye of Insight to observe, and Li Dao's various data indicators immediately appeared in front of her.
Mental fluctuations, physical strength, cellular activity, muscle elasticity, bone density, and finally, physical coordination.
These six items cover the most direct, simple, and clear data about the human body, using data from the first to fourth generations as a template.
Li Dao's previous data was comparable to that of a third-generation divine body, but now his data has increased significantly and is expected to reach the basic indicators of a fourth-generation divine body.
"The chances are slim. The data gap between the third and fourth generations is too large. Even without the support of celestial computing power, the physical indicators of the fourth generation can still crush the top third generation."
"Take you as an example. In the known universe, your strength is among the top of the third generation. If you were to fight me, without using computing power, how many rounds do you think you could last against me?"
He Xi asked.
“I don’t know, and besides, as your guardian angel, I would not draw my sword against you.” Angel Ying shook her head.
"Without using computing power, how many rounds do you think you could last against Morgana?" He Xi nodded, and then gave another example.
Since they're both fourth-generation characters, she and Morgana are pretty much the same.
"If we fight to the death, we can last five rounds!" Angel Ying said seriously.
“Yes, but the young Taoist is special. Data can only serve as a measure for him. Even if he is not a fourth-generation Taoist, he can still contend with a fourth-generation Taoist through various means,” He Xi said.
“I understand,” Angel Ying nodded.
“You should spend more time learning combat skills from him; some of his techniques will be very helpful to you,” He Xi said.
"And what about you?" Angel Ying asked.
"Me? I can rely on him for protection," He Xi said with a light laugh.
How could Li Dao's little schemes escape her notice? By observing his expressions, she could roughly guess his thoughts, but she simply didn't point it out.
What could be more fulfilling than nurturing someone who can overcome their own limitations?
Angel Ying was taken aback.
It turns out that the relationship between the two was only a thin veil away from being revealed, but Tianji King did not point it out, clearly wanting to give the young Taoist priest a chance.
"Then why did you take the initiative..." But what puzzled Angel Ying the most was why the Heavenly King would give Angel Yan, that junior, a chance. Wasn't that stealing someone else's love?
"Do you think it's important to give something away for free?" He Xi asked in return, taking a sip of tea.
In an instant, Angel Ying understood.
Yes! What's more important than something gained through overcoming numerous difficulties? Although King Tianji's move of retreating to advance gave the younger generation Yan a head start, King Tianji is still the most important one.
Indeed, experience truly matters!
However, wouldn't such polygamy violate the rules set by Queen Keisha?
Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. Anyway, Queen Keisha has already fallen. Even if Queen Keisha returns, it's Tianji King and Yan's descendants' business to worry about.
Although only a few minutes had passed since the two women began their conversation, the Daoist chanting grew increasingly powerful and inspiring, like the morning bell and evening drum of an old temple in the deep mountains, shaking the mind and cleansing away distracting thoughts!
Just as the Daoist voice was becoming increasingly powerful and people's hearts were about to erupt as if on the verge of exploding, suddenly, the voice became more and more restrained, gradually became smaller, and finally disappeared.
It was as if the decadent music just now was an illusion.
It was as if, at the crucial moment when thousands of birds took flight and bells and drums resounded, suddenly the birds fell silent, the bells and drums ceased their sound, and everything returned to calm.
pat!
Thump! Thump thump!
Just then, the sound of a doorknob turning came from upstairs, followed by the sound of someone walking down the stairs at a leisurely pace.
Although it was a very normal gait, each step seemed to land on a certain point, on a certain melody, bringing healing and relaxation to the mind and soul.
Angel Ying had this feeling; it was magical and wonderful, soothing and relaxing her mind, which had not yet calmed down after annihilating the Taotie fleet.
The white figure slowly walked downstairs, moving at a speed that seemed slow but was actually fast, and in the blink of an eye, it arrived in the living room.
Looking at the figure before her, so like a painting, with flowing white robes and a pure, snow-white aura, He Xi couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Have you become an immortal?"
Chapter 136 Li Dao Makes His Move! (Please vote with monthly tickets!)
"No." Li Dao shook his head, immediately concealing his appearance after breaking through to the Qi state, and reverted to an ordinary Taoist priest who was nothing special except for his handsome appearance. He sat on the sofa and poured himself a cup of tea.
Just moments ago, his white robes fluttered, his white hair flowed over his shoulders, and his skin was as white as snow. Combined with his soothing gait, he seemed to have ascended to heaven.
No wonder he was thought to be destined to become an immortal.
He Xi sized up Li Dao, whose aura seemed ordinary yet strangely rounded, and asked with a glint in her azure eyes, "Your data is approaching the fourth generation. Have you considered becoming the Galactic God?"
"The Galactic God?" Li Dao looked at He Xi, then saw that the other's eyes were flashing, and he must be trying to get something out of him again.
Angel Ying sat to the side, choosing to remain invisible.
Since she knew that the two had a relationship as thin as a sheet of paper, she didn't want to interfere in their affairs. Wouldn't it be better to just quietly enjoy their lovey-dovey moments?
Besides, it's a secret about the relationship that only I know about.
